A certain M M Gower has writ
ten to Tho Sacred Heart Revlow de
nouncing the statement lately made
in a Monitor editorial that the band
of American missionaries In Hawaii
accumulated more than twice four
hundred thousand acres there In less
than a century He says the state
ment Is born of ignorance and its au
thor Is challenged to Bhow that tho
American missionaries ever owned
or controlled one tenth part of that
amount of land and the records of
the Land Ofllce arc free to him to In
spect We are not prepared to take
a trip to Hawaii for that purpose but
are ready to furnish satisfactory
proof that members of the body
known as tho msionary colony
or band have controlled for their
own use very- much more than eight
hundred thousand acres of- Hawaii
ian land
Tho History of Hawaii published
by the Government of the last King
for use in the public schools makes
the statement that In 1841 the firm
of Ladd Co received from the na
tlvo Government then under full con
trol of its missionary teachers tho
right to take up all the unoccupied
lands of thp Islands at- a nominal
rental Tho Rev Mr Richards who
had come to Hawaii as a missionary
minister of the Gospel and had In a
shoit time changed that function for
the salarieds position of minister of
public instruction became a member
of the firm of Ladd Co at the
samo time as the History states
The extent cf the unoccupied lands
thus placed under control of the Rev
Mr Richards and subsequently tran
ferred to another land company was
little less than one third of the whole
area of tho Islands
The missionary ministers of the
native King induced him in 1840 to
divido the land into three parts One
was to be tho private estate of the
King a second to be divided as pri
vate property among the chiefs and
a third might bo allotted in small
patches to the Common natives Ac
cording to the statement of Dr An
derson the historian of the Americ
an Hoard of Missions less than twenty-seven
thousand acres was divided
rfnon tho latter clnsB As there
are four and a half million acres iu
iho islands and a third or a million
and a half was set out as peoples
land of which only twenty seven
thousand vns allotted to the people
it seems clear that the grant of all
unoccupied lands to- the Rev Mr
Richards and his partners must have
exceeded fourteen hundred thousand
acres This single fact establishes
the accuracy of The Monitors state
meat unless the right to take land
at a nominal lent Is not regarded as
either owneislilp or contiolj or that
a missionary who ceases to teach tho
Gospel is not to bo considered a mem
ber of the mlssionaiy band
With acqusltlons mado by other
cleilcal speculators such as the es
tato of Puualiou ucqulred fiom the
Chief nokl In 1R30 by the RovHJram
Bingham and afterwards transferred
to the missionary college of Oabu
wo shall not trouble our readers
They were neither few nor small but
